CSSTree

CSS AST Builder

Installation

$ npm install csstree

CSSTree may also be run in a browser enviornment.

<script type='text/javascript' src='CSSTree.js'></script>

Usage

var instance = new CSSTree( css );

// CSS Tree
console.log( instance.branches );

Example

var instance = new CSSTree( "html body { background: red; margin: 10px 5px; }" );

console.log( instance.branches );

Will give an object format of the following:

{
	selector: 'html body',
	parts: [
		'html',
		'body'
	],
	rules: [
		{
			property: 'background',
			value: 'red',
			parts: [
				'red'
			]
		},
		{
			property: 'margin',
			value: '10px 5px',
			parts: [
				'10px',
				'5px'
			]
		}
	]
}

Position Objects

Every selector, rule, atrule and comment includes a 'Position' object which contains useful information about that fragments section of the stylesheet. Comes in the following form:

{
	property: 'background',
	value: 'red',
	parts: [
		'red'
	],
	position: {
		range: {
			start: 40,
			end: 60,
			length: 20
		},
		start: {
			line: 2,
			character: 2
		},
		end: {
			line: 2,
			character: 22
		},
		chunks: [
			{
				start: 40,
				end: 60,
				length: 20
			}
		]
	}
}

• range: Contains the start and end indexes of the fragment within the stylesheet
• start: Contains the starting line/character info of the fragment based on line breaks (\r\n|\r|\n)
• end: Contains the ending line/character info of the fragment based on line breaks (\r\n|\r|\n)
• chunks: When a comment exists between the start & end indexes, chunks represents only the sections that belong to this position.
